Your school is extraordinary.

Well, that's because

of donations,

from long-time contributors

like yourself, Elliot.

And that's what makes

this even more difficult.

Oh. How do you mean?

Well,

your director of admissions,

Candace Sparks.

Mmm-hmm.

She's your wife?

Yes, she kept her maiden name.

And how did you meet again?

I'm sorry.

What?

Yeah, no, I'll be right back!

Yep!

Hey, how are you?

It's nice to see you.

To see everybody.

1997?

'97, what the...

Oh, my God, look at...

Candace? No.

God, Candace.

Hi, Mr. Murch.

Hey!

Hi. Say hi to your mom for me.

For me.

No, babe.

Oh, God!

Boy, pull your pants up!

No, no, no, don't

Oh, my God!

Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding me!

Oh!

Oh. That feels so good.

Oh! Don't stop.

I think I'm gonna

keep you, Mr. Stewart.

You promise?

Oh. Honey.

I'm sorry things didn't pan out

the way you wanted

with your book,

but the next

great idea will come.

I know it.

Stan thinks I should do

a biography on Lance.

Really?

Yeah.

That's interesting.

So you think I should?

That is another big-time

carry for Lance Sullivan.

Oh, my God.

Wow.

Looks like we're

the first to arrive.

Baby, come on now,

you look amazing.

I look like a cow.

You don't look like a cow.

Now, come on.

Sorry, I'm just a little pregnant.

You look beautiful.

Look, I know you're nervous.

I'm not nervous. Just...

Let's not mention my epic

failure of a book to anyone.

Honey, nobody here

is gonna judge you.

You don't know my

friends very well, do you?

Come on, get in here!

Hey, now.

It's been too long.

You look beautiful.

Thank you so much, Mia.

Hey, stranger.

Merry Christmas.

How you doing?

Perfect.

Yeah? Good.

This is just perfect.

Come.

Children, come say hello.

- Hey, you all.

- Hey.

U. Look how big you all got.

You remember us?

Yes, it's good to see

you again, Mr. Harper.

Ms. Robyn.

Hi.

You don't have to be that formal with us.

It's just Harper and Robyn.

Or Uncle Harp,

or Auntie Rob-Rob, or...

You don't have to

call us that though.

Yeah, no, don't.

That's weird.

Here, let me take your bags.

Can I take your coats?

Oh. How nice.

Okay, this is off.

What a beautiful dress.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

So polite.

Do you have a baby in there?

Yes, I do.

It's still baking though.

And look over here,

you must be July.

No?

Let me guess. Summer?

August.

August.

My bad.

Put it there, buddy boy.

Dap it up. There we go.

High-five. Pound it out.

He knows who you are.

Oh, look who's here.

August Wilson is

an American legend,

and a big inspiration

to this cat.

That he is.

And I hope to one

day be on his level.

Oh, yeah?

You got a long way to go.
